The true star of the evening was of course the President himself and his great comedy. He made jokes about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, with Trump’s children in the audience. As this was his final White House Correspondent’s Dinner he said “But standing here, I can’t help but be reflective and a little sentimental.” The best part came when he ended with, “I have just two more words to say: Obama out,” and literally dropped the mic.
